Tutorial Recording Notes:

Disclaimer: these are the actual notes I used to record this video and are written in a language you may or may not understand. Hopefully, you find them useful or cool.

Create new document 2560x1440px

Fill background layer with #f6bd62

New layer and use the elliptical marquee tool to create a tall, thin selection and fill with #fee6d3 and add a Gaussian blur of 200px

Duplicate that first blurred shape and resize a little to really fill out the glow in the center of BG

Drag in the orange juice glass and size it to the middle of the document

Use Select and Mask to create a nice selection around this thing and output a new mask

Clip a Selective color adjustment layer to this orange juice glass and edit the Whites: C:-50 / M:-10 / Y: +25 / Black: +5 and mask this layer using a large soft brush to just the highlights of the glass/juice

Select both of those layers and merge them to a new layer and shut off the juice and selective color layers

Drag in the blue water splash and set to Multiply

Clip a Black & White layer to this water using the Green Filter preset

Clip a Levels adjustment layer above this and drag the black point to 35, the center point to 1.5, and the black output point to 70
